A 19-year-old Ocean Springs man is behind bars after South Mississippi Metro Enforcement Team agents watched him sell marijuana disguised in homemade cereal bars to someone at a boat launch in Gulf Park Estates, the Jackson County Sheriff said.

Quarshaud Deshea Johnson was arrested around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday on a charge of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, Sheriff Mike Ezell said.

Ezell said several citizens complained to Jackson County District 5 Supervisor Randy Bosarge about someone selling plastic bags of marijuana-infused cereal bars to minors.

Bosarge went to Ezell with the complains, and that led to an investigation.
